RCEP: India has a year to be part of trade deal but chances dim
NEW DELHI: India will have a year to be part of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership but chances of it joining the grouping are dim as India has significant outstanding issues which are unlikely to be resolved within the stipulated time.
"We welcomed the report presented by ministers on the outcomes of the RCEP negotiations. We noted 15 RCEP participating countries have concluded text-based negotiations for all 20 chapters and essentially all their market access issues and tasked legal scrubbing by them to commence for signing in 2020. India has significant outstanding issues which remain unresolved. All RCEP participating countries will work together to resolve these outstanding issues in a mutually satisfactory way. India's final decision will depend on satisfactory resolution of these issues," said a joint statement after the RCEP summit in Bangkok on Monday.
Secretary (East), MEA, Vijay Thakur Singh at a press conference in Bangkok said: "In the given circumstances, we believe not joining the agreement is the right decision. This reflects both our assessment of current global situation and of the fairness and balance of the agreement."
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng said in Bangkok that India was welcome to join RCEP whenever it was ready. "It's the 15 nations that have decided to move forward first," Le said. "There won't be any problem for the 15 nations to sign RCEP next year," he added. "Whenever India is ready, it's welcome to get onboard."

Description: The RS-24 Yars is a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) being developed by Russia as the replacement for existing RS-18/SS-19 Stiletto and RS-20/SS-18 Satan. The Russian Strategic Forces Command performed the first test-launch of an RS-24 missile from a mobile launcher at Plesetsk launch site in northwestern Russia on May 29, 2007. The RS-24 is based on the Topol-M ICBM and has been designed to carry four nuclear warheads along with four decoys for better missile defense penetration. The RS-24 is a mobile and silo-based missile system and would be fitted with anti-missile defense (ABM) technology such as radar-absorbing material. Other sources suggest that the RS-24 is the most capable ICBM produced ever worldwide.
In October 2008, the Russian Strategic Forces Command announced that the RS-24 MIRVed missile will be deployed in silos and on mobile platforms beginning in 2009 thus replacing SS-18 and SS-19 intercontinental ballistic missiles. The new ICBM missile system was expected to remain in active duty until 2050. By 2020, the Russian Strategic Missile Forces (SMF) will be equipped with around 100 Yars missiles distributed in 14 regiments. That date may have been advanced to late 2018 or early 2019. The Yars-S designation refers to the mobile variant of the Yars missile system. The missile has a maximum range of 12,000 kilometers and can hit targets with an accuracy of 150 meters.


US S&P 500– Retail CFD traders remain extremely net-short the SPX500, which tracks the fair value of the S&P E-mini futures contract, and a contrarian view of 'crowd' sentiment has kept us firmly bullish. Our data shows there are a remarkable 10 open positions short for every 1 long—91 percent of all open positions are short.
The clear danger is that retail traders have often been 'right' at major trend turnarounds, and the extraordinarily net-short positioning warns of a potential top. But such extremes by definition are only clear in hindsight.
We will remain cautiously bullish until we see substantive evidence of a sentiment reversal.

Harper Lee is a human being. Oh no.
July 21, 2014 by Craig Calcaterra
There's a new book out about the life of Harper Lee, the famously reclusive author of "To Kill a Mockingbird." The author moved in next door to Lee, befriended her and her older sister and now is telling us how Lee has spent the past 50+ years since she left the literary spotlight. There is some controversy about whether it is truly an "authorized" biography, but that's mostly a matter of legal technicality. The gist is that the author got to know the Lees well and was on the up-and-up about the project, so it is no hatchet job. It's just a book.
Dwight Garner of the New York Times reviews it and he doesn't like it. Which is cool. I can imagine not liking such a book either, as I have almost uniformly found the lives of the authors I admire either unpleasant or boring or both, and rare it is that my enjoyment of the author's output is enhanced by knowing every detail of their life. I separate art from artist as much as possible.
But Garner doesn't just criticize a book about an author's life here. He criticizes the author's life itself. And he does so in the most cringeworthy way possible:
"The Mockingbird Next Door" conjured mostly sad images in my mind. Ms. Lee has a regular booth at McDonald's, where she goes for coffee. She eats takeout salads from Burger King on movie night. When she fishes, she uses wieners for bait. She feeds the town ducks daily, with seed corn from a plastic Cool Whip Free container, calling "Woo-hoo-HOO! Woo-hoo-HOO!" Somehow learning all this is worse than it would be to learn that she steals money from a local orphanage.
I agree this is sad. Truly, we would enjoy "To Kill a Mockingbird" more if we knew the author liked to stab idly at her smoked baby beets salad at The King Cole Bar at the St. Regis while trading bon mots with literary friends while making snobbish comments about the lives of people in flyover territory. But McDonald's coffee! In Monroeville, Alabama! Heaven forfend. I guess I'm just crestfallen. Crestfallen that a woman whose claim to fame was writing about the true-to-life aspects of the world she inhabited as a girl lowered herself to live in the true-to-life aspects of the world she inhabited as an adult.
In other news, Garner is from Charleston, West Virginia and has written about his trips home for the Times in the past. Notably, there isn't a lot about Gino's Pizza and Go Mart in those accounts. Color me shocked.

Re: Um, call this person?
My mom had numerous people reach out to her after her diagnosis. Neighbors that moved out of state in the early 90s, her high school friends, all kinds of people from all stages of her life. It was really nice, for all of us, I think, to know that so many people remembered her so fondly and cared enough to reach out.
I think banana's wording is great.
If you dont don't want to call I also think a card/note that says the same is fine as well.
I cant really think of a situation where someone would be upset a friend said "hey I'm thinking of you and I'm here".
It's amazing to me that this is something a person needs advice on.
ETA: advice from Prudie, and not even advice from a close friend or relative.
Yes and yes on banana's wording also. But, for someone who isn't currently that close to this person, I think it needs to be a card/letter and not a phone call. For someone who is gravely ill, an unexpected phone call might be taxing for them. Especially if they are suddenly getting a lot of them. Whereas a card they can read at their leisure and, if they wish, call when it is most convenient for them.

I wrote this post after visiting the Nelson Mandela National Museum, or simply the Mandela House. The home of Nelson Mandela from 1946 to 1962. Located at number 8115, at the corner of Vilakazi and Ngakane streets, the Mandela House is a short distance up the road from Tutu House, the home of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in Soweto.
Both anti-apartheid heroes ended up Nobel Peace Prize winners.
The house itself is a single-story red-brick matchbox built in 1945. It has bullet holes in the walls and the facade has scorch marks from attacks with Molotov cocktails, scars of the restive Apartheid years. Standing in Madiba's small room gave me a graphic sense of the austerity of the average Sowetan home.
Here in the South Western Township, outside Johannesburg, Vilakazi Street prides itself as the only precinct in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winners have lived. Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu were neighbours for years in this Soweto neighbourhood.
Today the Mandela House is one of the big tourist attractions in Soweto, visited by hundreds of tourists daily.
The Mandela House gives the visitors a unique opportunity to walk through the same doorways and the rooms Nelson Mandela slept in before and after 27 years in jail.This exclusive report gives you an unprecedented view into the Mandela House in Soweto.
The Mandela House managed by the Soweto Heritage Trust attracts visitors from across the world who stream into the house daily to see a few personal items of Mandela, like the bed he slept in, his boxing gloves, the world championship belt given to Mandela by Sugar Ray Leonard, family portraits as well as share the space he once lived in. Visiting this home was a seminal moment in my career as a reporter, and I can only liken this to being on the 38th parallel in-between North and South Korea earlier this year.
However both places are both historic, pregnant with symbolism, but different in their own rights.

Marines must train for when network's not there — corps commandant
Modern Marines depend heavily on information dominance, electronic and cyber warfare, and network-based communication for their battlefield advantage. Despite that, it's imperative they also train with the mindset that those technologies won't always be there when they need them, a Marine Corps general said this week.
"There's a balance. We have to leverage the technology we have — it gives us an operational advantage — but at the same time, which makes training even harder, you have to work through or be prepared for when it's not there," Commandant Gen. Robert Neller said during a discussion with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
With more than 40 years as a Marine, Neller recalls his own combat experience "when we were underneath the poncho at night with a flashlight stuck in our mouth trying to read the map and figure out where the hell we were, hoping some sergeant could tell us" and "where you're operating on single-channel radio and if it worked 50 percent of the time, you were ecstatically happy."
Marines today have grown up and been trained in an environment that's much different, he said.
"[T]hey walk into the operations center and they've got big screen TVs with common operational picture, they know exactly where all their people are cause they have 'blue force tracker,' they can see the airplanes, they've got perfect comms, they've got multiple means digitally to chat or to text, let alone voice…," Neller said.
"The fight that we used to think about in air, land and sea, and under the sea, has now expanded to space, to cyber and to the information domain," he said.
As much as Marines have come to expect those technologies will be at their disposal on the battlefield, Neller isn't so sure that will always be the case. Some oppositional forces may have the capability to jam communications and contest Marine networks, especially when the fight is on their own turf.
"We have developed a system of warfighting that is very dependent on the Internet, the network and space," he said. "So looking at our potential adversaries, do we think that that's going to be there if we were to engage with these folks? I would say I don't know. I don't think you can assume that."
Neller added: "In fact I would think our friendly center of gravity from a tactical sense is we have to protect our network. If we lose that, then now we're back to paper maps and [high frequency] radio…"
So they're training more for that very scenario. In force-on-force training at Twentynine Palms training center in San Bernardino, California, the corps is purposely throwing a wrench into the plans of Marine trainees.
"It's simple stuff like that, jamming the radio or saying, 'Hey the GPS doesn't work,' or 'The whole network server just crashed,'" Neller said. They even give the oppositional training teams new technologies like small unmanned aerial vehicles that many trainees haven't encountered.
Despite these Marines' dependency on modern technologies, Neller believes they will be able to adapt with the right training.
"I have no doubt in my mind that our force will figure it out — that they're much smarter, more capable, more adaptive than we ever were, cause they've grown up in this, and they'll adjust," he said. "But we've got to put them in situations to where they deal with it. Because you train based on what you think is going to happen to you in the environment."

Chicago teachers' strike sidelines athletes, future hopes
Lawyer Kevin Sterling speaks to the media as cross-country runners from various Chicago Public Schools gather in the hallway at Daley Center courthouse after a hearing seeking an emergency injunction that would allow them to compete this weekend at regionals during the Chicago Teachers Union strike on Friday, Oct. 25, 2019. Because of the strike, the teams would have to forfeit unless they've started the beginning level of competition for the postseason. (Camille Fine/Chicago Tribune/TNS)
By John O'Connor, Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A strike by school teachers in Chicago has spread from the picket line to the playing field.
Thousands of high school athletes, shut out of class for more than a week, are arguing, rallying and even filing lawsuits for the chance to compete in post-season play. Hanging in the balance, they say, are not just the pursuits of state-championship glory and lifelong memories, but scholarships that for some represent a lone opportunity to attend college and, in some cases, escape drugs and violence in city neighborhoods.
"We've been working for this goal of making this stage, running in the postseason, since June," said Ian Bacon, a senior cross-country runner at Jones College Prep and a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed Thursday against the Illinois High School Association. "This fight ... it's not just for us. It's for all the future student-athletes that may find themselves in this situation."
About 25,000 members of the Chicago Teachers Union walked out Oct. 17. They continue to negotiate with administrators for the nation's third-largest school system, but disagreement remains over issues such as class sizes and staffing. The work stoppage also idled action on the gridiron, tennis court, soccer field and cross-country course.
CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates, a basketball player in her Indiana school days, was sympathetic to the young competitors, saying, "This sucks."
"Student athletes spend a lot of time in preparation to make sure that they can meet the highest level of competition," Gates said. "I am not going to say anything to them that's going to make this feel any better because it will never feel any better."
A Chicago Public Schools spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
The strike came at the very moment competitors were gearing up for state playoff runs. Solorio Academy missed its chance to win a second state soccer championship in three years because the tournament began last week. The lawsuit by Jones Prep and other cross-country teams argues that a different interpretation of an IHSA rule could still allow runners to answer the state-meet gun on Nov. 9. Football teams that have completed eight games and won at least five were expected to be seeded for the playoffs by the IHSA Saturday. But IHSA rules stipulate that the strike must end by Tuesday night, allowing the teams to suit up for three days of practice before going full-tilt in the first playoff round Nov. 2.
Simeon Career Academy at 6-1 is ranked third in the state in Class 6A by the Associated Press, but was ineligible for the playoffs because a regular-season game fell through, leaving the team short of the eight required. The IHSA agreed on Friday to waive that rule for Simeon and two other schools, allowing them to be seeded, but rejected Simeon's request to skirt the three-practice requirement. That means the strike would have to end by Wednesday to give eligible schools a chance to play.
A Cook County judge on Friday ruled that high school cross-country runners won't be able to participate in a state-qualifying meet Saturday. Judge Eve M. Reilly issued her order a day after athletes from Jones College Prep filed a lawsuit. It sought to lift an IHSA prohibition on their participation in sectional competition before the state finals Nov. 9.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that about 100 students attended the hearing. The runners had argued that a qualifying Oct. 16 meet — a day before the walkout — should count as part of their state series.
The post-season, players say, is what piques college recruiters' interest.
"We don't have the opportunity to make it out of Chicago," said Khalyl Warren, a Simeon Career Academy senior. "We're talking about kids who, all their lives, they've been through struggles and been through things that no child should have to go through, gangbanging in most of our areas, drug-selling. Sports is the only way out."
Warren, a 6-3, 290-pound offensive lineman who's accepted a football scholarship from Southeast Missouri State, organized a rally by idled players outside Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office Friday morning to call for an end to the strike.
Missing the post-season hurts college recruits' chances of playing on the next level, said Josh Helmholdt, Midwest analyst for Rivals, a media organization that rates prep gridders. But the greatest impact is on elite athletes who are juniors hoping to sign letters of intent to major college programs before next fall and on lower-level seniors still scrapping for scholarship offers from smaller schools.
It's not hopeless, Helmholdt said, but playoff games do provide talent showcases.
"You're losing more valuable games as it relates to your overall resume," Helmholdt said. "A college coach who sees something against semifinal opponent, that carries more weight than doing it against a team you blew out 48-0."
Bogan High School senior quarterback James Brown, whose 3-4 team was less concerned about playoff laurels than enjoying "Senior Night" and other end-of-season festivities, said he believes his small-school scholarship hopes were hampered during an awkward telephone conversation last week in which he was embarrassed to tell a football coach that he wasn't playing because of the strike.

Scientists Make A Shocking Monkeypox Discovery: "There Are Way More Mutations Than Expected"
Monkeypox continues to spread to more areas around the globe, but so far there is not the same sort of widespread alarm that we witnessed during the early stages of the COVID pandemic. One of the big reasons for this is because global health authorities have been assuring us that there isn't much of a risk to the general population. More than a week ago, the World Health Organization boldly announced that there was no evidence that the monkeypox virus had mutated, and so everyone assumed that this outbreak would not become a global crisis. Well, it turns out that the World Health Organization spoke way too soon. Scientists are now telling us that there are lots and lots of mutations in the new strain that has been spreading like wildfire all over the planet. In fact, it is being reported that "there are way more mutations than expected"…
DNA viruses, particularly those with relatively big genomes like poxviruses (the family that includes monkeypox), generally accrue mutations much more slowly than, say, an RNA virus like SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19. That means that examining the sequences might be less fruitful in terms of tracking how the virus is spreading from person to person. There are fewer changes to the virus' genome that might shine a light on transmission chains.
But as researchers around the world share sequences from the current outbreak, the genomes have revealed something odd: There are way more mutations than expected.
Needless to say, this is not good news.
Apparently the "closest relatives" are from an outbreak that happened in 2018, and since that time there have been "40-some mutations"…
Most notably, there are a whole lot of mutations that appear across the new sequences. The genomes from the current outbreak share 40-some mutations with each other that distinguish them from their closest relatives, which were from around 2018. (The exact number of mutations varies depending on how certain changes are counted.)
Based on normal evolutionary timelines, scientists would expect a virus like monkeypox to pick up that many mutations over perhaps 50 years, not four, Neher said.
The scientific article that I just quoted goes on to speculate about how so many mutations could have possibly occurred naturally.
Of course the truth is that they probably didn't occur naturally.
But mainstream outlets are not going to be eager to go down that rabbit hole at this point.
As I write this article, this new monkeypox outbreak has now spread to 33 countries outside of Africa, and the total of confirmed, probable and suspected cases outside of Africa has grown to 825.
Here in the United States, the total number of confirmed cases is now up to 21…
Chicago has detected a suspected case of monkeypox in a man who recently returned from Europe, health chiefs revealed Thursday.
The patient — who was not named — is the first case to be detected in Illinois since the outbreak began last month.
It brings the U.S. tally to 21 cases across as many as 11 states, with Los Angeles today also reporting its first suspected case in an adult 'close contact' of another case.
Of course monkeypox has been spreading in central Africa for quite some time now.
So far this year, there have been 1,284 confirmed cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo alone, and 58 of those cases have died…
The Democratic Republic of Congo has seen the highest number of confirmed monkeypox infections, according to the WHO, with 1,284 confirmed cases between 1 January and 8 May 2022, including 58 deaths. The next highest figures were seen in Nigeria between 1 January and 30 April 2022, with 46 cases and no deaths, and in Cameroon with 25 reported cases, including nine deaths.
So the death rate for monkeypox in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been about 4.5 percent up to this point in 2022.
The World Health Organization is now claiming that monkeypox has been "spreading undetected" outside of Africa for "some time" now, but they aren't being any more specific than that.
It is being widely reported that men that engage in sex acts with other men have been catching the disease, but the CDC is also telling us that it is often spreading among those that "live in the same household"…
Some cases were reported among men who have sex with men. Some cases were also reported in people who live in the same household as an infected person.
In response to recent developments, the CDC has now decided to escalate the travel warning for this outbreak to "Alert Level 2"…
According to reports, an "Alert Level 2" has been issued advising travelers to "practice enhanced precautions." This is similar to the travel recommendations that were issued at the start of the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic, only to eventually become mandates.
The new advisory urges travelers to avoid people with "skin lesions" or "genital lesions," as well as wild animals and small mammals such as rodents (rats and squirrels) and non-human primates (monkeys and apes).
I was hoping that things would not progress this far.
I was hoping that this outbreak would fizzle out and that we wouldn't have to be concerned about it anymore.
Unfortunately, the number of confirmed cases continues to rise at an alarming trajectory, and it is being reported that authorities are making preparations for widespread PCR testing in the United States…
As more cases are uncovered in a global monkeypox outbreak, biotech companies and health officials are looking to make PCR testing for the virus more widely available in the US.
Dozens of public health labs across the country now use a more generalized test for orthopoxvirus, a larger category that includes monkeypox, smallpox and other viruses. Two biotechnology companies, Roche and Abbott, have announced plans to roll out monkeypox PCR tests, although right now, their test kits are for research only.
Here we go again, eh?
For many Americans, the last thing that they want to hear is that another pandemic could potentially turn all of our lives upside down again.
But whether monkeypox turns into something really big or not, the truth is that more pestilences are inevitably coming.
Every single day, mad scientists all over the planet are playing around with the deadliest diseases that humanity has ever known.
It is extremely foolish for them to perform such experiments, and it is way too easy for a "mistake" to happen.

Americans Will Never Forget The Historic Economic Collapse During Joe Biden's Presidency
4 Really Big Names That Are Warning That Major Economic Disaster Is Ahead


Jay Taylor is an evolutionary biologist who uses a combination of stochastic modeling, statistical analysis and genetic sequence data to understand how populations and communities evolve in complex and changing environments. Although trained as a theoretical population geneticist, in recent years, Professor Taylor has increasingly focused on the natural history of soil mites in the Sonoran desert and Madrean sky islands. Whereas the plants, insects and vertebrates of this region have been intensively studied, relatively little is known about the acarofauna. Consequently, one of the major aims of work being carried out by Professor Taylor and his students is to characterize the biodiversity of soil mites found within the region and then use these systems to explore questions in population genetics and evolutionary ecology. In addition, the lab studies the diversity and epidemiology of myrmecophilous mites. This work includes both a broad survey of ant-mite interactions within the region, as well as a more focused study of mites associated with two species of seed harvester ants, Novomessor cockerelli and N. albisetosus.
Professor Taylor is also interested in the evolution of parasites that cause chronic infectious diseases such as malaria (Plasmodium spp.) and African sleeping sickness (Trypanosoma brucei). These organisms have evolved elaborate strategies such as antigenic variation which allow them to survive despite being targeted by their hosts' immune systems. In some parasites, such as T. brucei, antigenic variation is achieved with the help of large multigene families that include numerous pseudogenes. However, because these pseudogenes contribute to antigenic diversity through segmental gene conversion, they are likely subject to natural selection. Current work in the Taylor lab is concerned with understanding the dynamics of pseudogene formation in antigen repertoires using both multiscale mathematical models and analysis of parasite genomes.

Mike Shanahan Remains Non-Committal About Donovan McNabb's Future With The Washington Redskins
Share All sharing options for: Mike Shanahan Remains Non-Committal About Donovan McNabb's Future With The Washington Redskins
As we've mentioned before, Donovan McNabb's new contract with the Washington Redskins contains an out clause that allows the Redskins to release him after this season and only pay him $3.75 million in guaranteed money. It does not appear like the Redskins will use that clause, not after surrendering multiple draft picks to acquire McNAbb.
However, it's worth noting that coach Mike Shanahan did not seem like he was committing to McNabb long-term. As CSN Washington's Rich Tandler notes, Shanahan's statements this week don't inspire much confidence.
Here's what Shanahan said at first:
"Hopefully very confident and hopefully we get better as an offense. We did some good things today. We had big plays. We have got to sustain drives. We had 200 yards, I believe, in the first half and four first downs. We got to get more consistent. We show signs of getting better, but we were 0-for-10 in third downs today, 1-for-1 in fourth downs. You can't win football games when you are 0-10 in third downs."
And then here's what Shanahan said in his press conference on Wednesday:
"Take a look at my contract, I got a five year contract and I am sure hoping that I am here in five years. I think anytime you sign a contract you are always hoping that you fulfill that contract. You don't sign contracts thinking that the person won't be here."
Now, we may be looking too much into this. Shanahan is notorious for saying nothing meaningful either way in his press conference. But it's interesting to see that Shanahan is "hoping" that McNabb sticks around beyond this season. That may be one way for Shanahan to affirm to McNabb that he is on notice.

Event Preview: Blue Oval Nationals at Island Dragway
By Stephanie Davies-Bardekoff July 11, 2019
This one goes out to our racers and racing fans in the northeastern corner of the US! Since the closing of the legendary Englishtown Raceway Park last year, New Jersey racers have been faced with the decision of which track to make their new home track. Allow me to make a quick argument for Island Dragway in Great Meadows, New Jersey.
Driving into Island Dragway on a Saturday morning is akin to driving right back in time to the 1960s. To be honest, the track itself hasn't changed much since it opened way back when, lending to its air of nostalgia. However, the owners have been working nonstop to improve the overall experience. A new bridge has been installed in the pit area, and a newly-operational kitchen and restrooms are open for business.
Since the friendly competitive neighbor to its south closed its gates last season, Island has stepped up to welcome Englishtown's regulars, and has been trying to incorporate events to quell the needs of the displaced racers, along with its normal crowd.
Island will be hosting its Blue Oval Nationals this coming weekend, on Sunday, July 14th. The race, presented by Smith Motor Company, will feature ten car show classes along with four race classes. All Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury-bodied or powered vehicles will have a place in one class or another, and each race will be bracket style.
The classes are as follows: F1, a 9.99 and quicker or delay box class; F2, a class for 10.00-12.99 cars that allows trans brakes; F3, 13.00 and slower with trans brakes allowed; and Modern Ford for 10.00 and slower with DOT tires and mufflers.
Island Dragway has also decided to open the track to test and tune drivers in all makes and models, so bring your Chevy and Dodge friends, too (we guess).
Gates open at 10:00 a.m., and the weather is looking warm and sunny. Time trials begin at noon, and eliminations (as well as car show awards) should be going down around 3:00 p.m. You can find the event information here on Facebook. Hope to catch you out on this legendary track!

            If pos > 0 Then
                encryptedChar = Mid(charSet2, pos, 1)
                encryptedText = encryptedText + encryptedChar
            Else
                encryptedText = encryptedText + Mid(text, i, 1)
            End If
        Next
        Encrypt = encryptedText
    End Function

FROM VISUAL BASIC TO PHP...
I'm making a text to hash thing like presented above but in PHP for my website..  The code above is home-made so its nothing like MD5 or SHA1. But if you guys do know a way to encrypt and decrypt MD5 in Visual basic 2008 please show me! (this must also work for PHP).

A: Rather than convert the above subroutine to PHP, here is a subroutine to convert a string to its MD5 Hash in VB.NET:
Function getMD5Hash(ByVal strToHash As String) As String

    Dim md5Obj As New Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider

    Dim bytesToHash() As Byte = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(strToHash)

    bytesToHash = md5Obj.ComputeHash(bytesToHash)

    Dim strResult As String = ""

    For Each b As Byte In bytesToHash

        strResult += b.ToString("x2")

    Next

    Return strResult

End Function

in PHP you can use the md5 function:
$hashedString = md5(strToHash);

By it's nature as a hash, you cannot decrypt a hash, you can only hash it and compare it to a stored hash.
Of course, I have to link to the Coding Horror post on Rainbow Tables and salting your hashes:

IU Bloomington allocates $300,000 to substance abuse recovery
Posted 8:47 AM, October 18, 2019, by Kelly Reinke, Updated at 10:06AM, October 18, 2019
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A new recovery community at Indiana University Bloomington is helping students who are struggling with substance abuse. IU committed $300,000 for the project.
The IU Collegiate Recovery Community received funding in late 2017. Doors finally opened in August.
The group is trying to help students navigate challenges in college and graduate.
Travis Lawson, coordinator of IU Collegiate Recovery Community, said research from Texas Tech University shows that on a campus the size of IU Bloomington, there are about 500 students in active recovery.
He also said studies show college students who are in active recovery and do not have support from a recovery community have a graduation rate around 30%. When the services are available to these students, the graduation rate increases to about 80%.
The IU Collegiate Recovery Community offers counseling, case management, and guidance. Lawson said they can help students understand resources available to them.
He believes the group has helped around 20 students so far. He said most students struggle with alcohol, marijuana, or cocaine abuse.
The IU Collegiate Recovery Community received funding after a student organization, Students in Recovery at Bloomington, requested the services. They established a support group but advocated for more resources for students.
Jake Desmond, a grad student at IU Bloomington, helped start Students in Recovery at Bloomington.
"Even as an undergraduate, my priorities were based in social life rather than school," Desmond said. "I got to a point where I was sick and tired of all of my relationships failing, getting into trouble."
Desmond was a freshman at IU Bloomington when he said the drinking really became a problem. He left campus and got help at a rehab center. When he came back, Desmond said he pushed for a recovery community on campus.
"If things go too far, you need to have some sort of safety net for students," said Desmond.
He's happy to see the university is showing support and helping students who struggle with substance abuse.
Lawson hopes the group will expand in the future and eventually offer sober housing on campus.
Students who need help can visit the IU Collegiate Recovery Community's home at 508 N. Fess Ave.

Q: jq JSON key change assignment not working jq key assignment is not working.
I tried what was here for my use case.
Using jq how can I replace the name of a key with something else
in this case I want to change id to item_id`.
jq '.item[]  | select(.closed == false) | select(.id == "1234") |  .["id"] = .["item_id"] | .' data.json | less

the result does not error but "id" gets a value of null and there is not key called item_id. so there is something I am not getting right about assignment of the key.

A: You can just delete the old field using del, and add another one using object construction:
jq '.item[]  | select(.closed == false and .id == "1234") | del(.id) + {item_id: .id}' data.json

Or use with_entries to "rename" the old field:
jq '.item[]  | select(.closed == false and .id == "1234") | with_entries(select(.key == "id").key = "item_id")' data.json

Army sergeant kills pregnant wife, self, days before Christmas due date: Police
12/23/2020 12:25 pm PST
Facebook / U.S. Army
Police said Sarah Lewis was shot and killed by her husband Keith Lewis on Sunday night before he turned the gun on himself.
via WRAL:
FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WRAL) -- Police said Sarah Lewis, a 34-year-old pregnant mother of three, was shot and killed by her husband, 31-year-old Keith Lewis, on Willow Street on Sunday night before he turned the gun on himself.
Family members said Sarah Lewis was due to have her fourth baby girl on Christmas. Family said Sarah Lewis was in the military until she had her first child and became a paramedic. Her second husband was Staff Sgt. Keith Lewis, a member of the Army Special Operations Command stationed at Fort Bragg.
Investigators said they believed Sarah Lewis was gunned down before Keith Lewis turned the gun on himself.
The Army Times reports the couple's 3-year-old daughter was on scene at the time of the incident but she was not injured, police said in a statement. That daughter is now in the care of local family members.
The Fayetteville Observer reports police officers responded at about 7 p.m. Sunday to the 900 block of Willow Street and found Sarah Lewis suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died. Keith Lewis died at the scene from what was apparently a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
The Fayetteville Observer reports Fayetteville Police said officers had previously been called to the couple's home in 2016 for a domestic disturbance.

A total of 14,759 asymptomatic patients were referred for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning using electron beam tomography. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were developed to estimate time to all-cause mortality. Risk-adjusted annual mortality was 0.19% (95% confidence interval 0.18% to 0.21%) for patients without any calcified lesions. For patients with >20 lesions, the annual risk-adjusted mortality exceeded 2%. Mortality rates were significantly higher for left main artery lesions as compared with other coronary arteries with annual mortality rates of 1.3%, 2.1%, 9.2%, and 13.6% for 1 to 2, 3 to 5, and ≥6 lesions, respectively (p < 0.0001). For patients with CAC scores ≥1,000, annual mortality was dramatically higher at 3.0% to 4.5% for those with 1 to 5 calcified lesions as compared with 1.1% to 2.0% for those with 6 or more lesions (p < 0.0001). In conclusion, mortality increased with the number of calcified lesions. Patients with frequent left main artery lesions or those with a few large calcified lesions have a particularly high mortality risk.
Objectives This study sought to evaluate the long-term prognostic value of the number and sites of calcified coronary lesions and to compare the accuracy of number of calcified lesions with the extent of total calcium score.
Background There is a strong relationship between mortality and total coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. It is not known whether the number of calcified lesions or their location influences outcome.
Methods A total of 14,759 asymptomatic patients were referred for evaluation of CAC scanning using electron beam tomography. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were developed to estimate time to all-cause mortality at, on average, 6.8 years (n = 281).
Results Risk-adjusted annual mortality was 0.19% (95% confidence interval 0.18% to 0.21%) for patients without any calcified lesions. For patients with >20 lesions, annual risk-adjusted mortality exceeded 2% per year. Mortality rates were significantly higher for left main lesions as compared to other coronary arteries with annual mortality rates of 1.3%, 2.1%, 9.2%, and 13.6% for 1 to 2, 3 to 5, and ≥6 lesions, respectively (p < 0.0001). For left main CAC scores of 0 to 10, 11 to 100, 101 to 399, and 400 to 999, annual risk-adjusted mortality was 0.33%, 0.81%, 1.73%, and 7.71%, respectively (p < 0.0001). All 4 patients with a CAC score of ≥1,000 in the left main died during follow-up. However, patients with more frequent calcified lesions also had higher CAC scores. Specifically, ≥81% of patients with >10 calcified lesions also had a CAC score ≥100. With exception, for patients with CAC scores ≥1,000, annual mortality was dramatically higher at 3.0% to 4.5% for those with 1 to 5 calcified lesions as compared with 1.1% to 2.0% for those with 6 or more lesions (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions We report that mortality rates increased proportionally with the number of calcified lesions. Although predictive information is contained in the number of calcified lesions, its added statistical value is minimal. With exception, patients with frequent lesions in the left main or those with a few large calcified lesions have a particularly high mortality risk.

Sempre Vitória | Season One | Three
The season is flying by and I'm loving managing Vitória on FM19 so far…
I've reached the January transfer window, plus there's the small matter of some matches to play as well, including a quarter final and semi final in both domestic cup competitions. Have a read on to see what happened across the month.
Off the pitch, the month went okay. On it? It started poorly with a 1-1 draw against Aves, the kind of match we really should be winning at home. After that, it went horrifically downhill. We'll deal with some of the transfer activity first though.
It was a month for rejecting some bids I deemed not good enough. Nice put in a bid that could potentially be worth £2m for Wakaso, who's been a solid 7/10 performer so far in the carrilero role, rejected. Pedro Henrique kicked up a fuss at a paltry £3.3m bid being rejected by Cruzeiro. The post-rejection chat didn't go well at all, so our best central defender is now unhappy. A whopping 50% of his next transfer goes to his previous club, Cianorte, so I'd prefer to get a bit more back for ourselves too.
I mentioned in the last post I was looking for a left back after Hanin left for Montpellier and I'd narrowed it down to these two.
Inácio
Both players are fairly similar in quality, with Pará just shading it in his physical attributes, which as you'll hopefully know I highly value. Although he was to be the more expensive deal, an initial £250k which could potentially rise to £600k versus the £175k we'd agreed with Porto for Inácio, his wage demands were £200 per week less expensive. Inácio's £4.2k contract offer would have actually made him our highest paid player at the club, something I wasn't prepared to sanction despite the cheap fee. So I decided on…
Pará becomes my third permanent signing at the club and the highest transfer fee I've paid to date. He also ticks the box of my first Brazilian arrival at the club, something I'll be looking to do much more of in future. My fourth permanent signing wasn't far behind. It's always good to keep an eye on players who are released by bigger clubs, and I'll certainly be monitoring that situation at Benfica, Sporting and Porto over the next few seasons. It was the latter that decided Pierre-Noah Mabika wasn't going to make the breakthrough at the Dragão.
Rafa Soares got himself sent off in our terrible 3-1 loss away to rivals Braga. All of their goals came in the first half and all of them were from corners. Excellent. Soares' sending off meant Pará was thrust in to make his debut in the Taca de Portugal 6th round against Nacional where he unfortunately gave away the penalty that knocked us out of the competition just hours after his arrival was confirmed. We dominated the game despite not really creating many clear goalscoring opportunities. We might have matched the board's expectations but I would have liked to have made the semi final at least given it was there for the taking.
We then took our winless league run to four matches, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at Belenenses, who're flying high in 3rd place. A further match this month where we've really struggled to create goalscoring opportunities which is starting to worry me. It could be time to take a more in-depth look at what's going wrong. Angolan wide man, Fredy, scored the winner in the 86th minute following young Tapsoba, who'd come on in the 72nd minute for Venâncio who was having a 5.9 shocker, missing a vital defensive header and letting him in behind to easily put the ball in the back of the net.
When Yacine Brahimi was sent off 31 minutes into our Taca da Liga semi final against Porto, the score was 0-0 and we were on top. We'd finally come alive again and created some good opportunities to score. Three minutes before half time, Héctor Herrera rose highest at the back post to nod home a corner (just after I'd tweaked our defensive corner routine in the week running up to this match) and from there there only really looked like one team going through to the final. Otávio made sure of Porto's win after 64 minutes but it wasn't to be for them in the final two days later, with Sporting retaining the trophy on penalties.
Before the month ended, there was a few fringe departures to deal with. Sebatián Rincon had spent the first half of the season out on loan to Once Caldas, and I took advantage of the interest being shown in him to cash in when he returned. He was never going to break into the first team, so to get £350k from AccordingtoFM's América de Cali was an okay piece of business. 20-year-old forward, Aziz, was never going to make the grade, so he drops down to the Campeonato B with Gafanha on a free transfer. Loreintz Rosier, a young French defensive midfielder, had made 13 appearances for the B team so far this season and was attracting interest from a fair few Ligue 1 clubs. Again, I didn't see a pathway for him into my first team so he's gone to Guingamp for £135k plus 40% of his next sale.
Mário Ferreira is probably the most promising player at the club and he's attracting major interest from big European sides. New Zealand international, Tyler Boyd has been sold for £160k to Feirense to pave the way for Ferreira to make the step up to the first team squad for the remainder of the season.
Rafa Benítez has declared interest in bringing him to London to join his Arsenal side, while I rejected multiple bids from Roma this month, the last one being a deal potentially rising to £825k. Benfica entered the race too, their final bid totaled £1.5m and I was glad to see the end of deadline day. He signed a new contract early on in the season in which I'd inserted a two year extension clause which I almost immediately activated, ensuring his contract runs until 2022. Will we be able to stave off the interest for much longer? Milan and Lazio are interested too…
Ahead of the Santa Clara match left wing back, Rafa Soares, was the subject of a £2.2m bid from Real Sociedad. Despite the signing of Pará he remains my first choice in the position and a player I'm not ready to part with just yet. He's been arguably our best performer of the season so far on that left hand side too, laying on seven assists and scoring twice too. He proceeded to have the game of his life to end our disappointing month on a high with a league win over the side that beat us at home on matchday one. He scored twice himself and assisted the other two in our 4-1 win, earning man of the match with a 9.5 rating. That performance caught the attention of Sporting, who made a deadline day bid of £1.6m potentially rising to £2.8m. Sociedad came back in with an improved £2.8m deal, while Watford joined the hunt too, offering £4m. Better, but not enough for me to part with my star wing back. I've promised him we'd qualify for continental football and that seems to have appeased him, for now.
January transfer dealings see us bringing in £1.4m to the club and spending that potential £600k on Pará. We're still £12k under the weekly wage budget and have £700k left in the transfer budget to potentially do a few early deals ahead of the summer. It's a far cry from the £76m Benfica raked in from selling Álex Grimaldo to Man City and Talisca to Guangzhou.
A tough month on the pitch ends with us still in touch with the qualifying spots for European football next season.
Benfica are still flying and remain unbeaten. Porto's defence is still rock solid and Sporting's game in hand could see them jump above us into 4th spot. It remains to be seen whether Cesare Prandelli will be able to save struggling Boavista while Carlos Carvalhal has joined Rio Ave to try and steer them further away from the threat of relegation.
I'm glad to see the back of January. We've only got the league to compete in for the rest of the season now, I'm sure it'll fly by. Thanks for reading and for all the great comments and interaction on the posts so far. It's really appreciated.
Sempre Vitória!

News Release 15-Jul-2019
Cannabis treatment counters addiction: First study of its kind
Trial shows cannabis replacement therapy can be effective
An Australian study has demonstrated that cannabis-based medication helps tackle dependency on cannabis, one of the most widely used drugs globally.
A paper about the University of Sydney and NSW Health clinical trial provides the first strong evidence that so-called cannabinoid agonist medication - which targets receptors in the brain - could reduce the rate of relapse.
The paper published today in the American Medical Association's JAMA Internal Medicine.
Lead author Conjoint Professor Nick Lintzeris - of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health and Director of Drug & Alcohol Services, South East Sydney Local Health District - said the study should give hope to people with dependency on cannabis, which is a leading cause of drug treatment episodes in Australia.*
"We've never had the evidence before that medication can be effective in treating cannabis dependency - this is the first big study to show this is a safe and effective approach," Professor Lintzeris said.
"The principles are very similar to nicotine replacement; you are providing patients with a medicine which is safer than the drug they're already using, and linking this with medical and counselling support to help people address their illicit cannabis use."
The cannabis concentrate, which comprises equal proportions of cannabidiol (CBD) and the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is sprayed under the tongue and avoids the health impacts associated with smoking cannabis such as respiratory issues.
Nabiximols has been primarily used to treat pain symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis and is licensed in Australia. Alternative medical cannabis products exist but these are only available through special access schemes and unlike the trial medication, also require Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approval.
This large 12-week outpatient clinical trial of 128 participants taking nabiximols medication followed an earlier study by the same research team that had previously shown nabiximols reduce withdrawal symptoms in a short-term hospital treatment program. "The latest study published today is even more important in that it shows that nabiximols can be effective in helping patients achieve longer term changes in their cannabis use," Prof Lintzeris explains.
Co-author of the paper Professor Iain McGregor, the academic director of the University's Lambert Initiative for Cannabinoid Therapeutics, noted: "Worldwide we are seeing medicinal cannabis patients transition away from the traditional smoked route of cannabis administration; this new study... complements this trend by showing that an oral spray can be an effective substitute for smoked cannabis in heavy recreational users seeking treatment for their cannabis use."
Professor Lintzeris said an important element of this National Health and Medical Research Council-supported trial was that only cannabis users were recruited who had previously unsuccessfully tried to curb their use.
"Our study is an important step in addressing the lack of effective treatments - currently, four in five patients relapse to regular use within six months of medical or psychological interventions."
Trial and medication snapshot:
-	During the clinical trial, participants had an average dose of about 18 sprays a day, with each spray of 0.1mL comprising 2.7mg of THC and 2.5mg of CBD.
-	Participants treated with nabiximols used significantly less illicit cannabis than patients randomly allocated to placebo medication.
-	The medicine was combined with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic support for a holistic approach.
-	Health and behavioural benefits of cannabis replacement include that patients are taken out of their usual patterns of use.
-	This first large outpatient randomised controlled trial of the cannabis extract medication noted suppression of withdrawal and cravings, with improvements in physical and psychological well-being.
